Sometimes Social Media brings the right people together… 🤩🌙 ✨

A couple of weeks ago, a woman moved here with her family from Utah to take over and eventually purchase a historic property right here in Upstate New York. Somehow our paths crossed, and I’m honestly so glad they did.

Today I’m sharing one of the coolest pieces of history we’ve uncovered so far: an incredible robot created by local inventor Ron Henzel, who was also an electrical teach at Herkimer County BOCES. Most people have never heard of the robot , and I had no idea something this fascinating existed right here in our own backyard. The more I learn about it, the more amazed I am that such an important piece of technology history happened in a place most people drive right past.

But here’s the thing… the robot is only one small piece of what makes this property so special.

The grounds feel like something straight out of a storybook. Hidden paths, towering trees, secret garden vibes, and a waterfall tucked away with a cute quaint cottage overlooking it. Every time we walk the property, we find something new.

Then there’s the history.

This property has connections to the Underground Railroad, hidden trap doors, tunnels, and spaces that seem to have stories waiting to be told. We’ve already discovered things that even surprised the people who know the property best, and I have a feeling we’re only scratching the surface.

As a photographer, finding a place this magical is exciting enough. Finding a new friend who shares the same excitement for preserving and sharing its history makes it even better.

I can’t wait to keep documenting everything we uncover. Along with launching our Micro wedding/Elopement packages, along with some
Other fun stuff in between 😍😍

Trust me… you’re going to want to follow along for this journey. 🤖✨🌿
